On August 14, 2009, OJSC Rostelecom (the “Company”) filed the Company’s Quarterly Report for Q2 2009 (the “Quarterly Report”) with the Russian Federal Financial Markets Service (“FFMS”) as required by the Russian Federation’s securities legislation.

The requirements for the contents of Quarterly Reports and criteria for the information to be disclosed in the Quarterly Reports are set by the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the requirements of the FFMS. Such requirements and criteria for the information disclosure may, therefore, materially differ from the reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. securities laws to which the Company is subject, including the reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Terms used in Quarterly Reports have the meaning given to them by the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, which meaning may be different from the meaning given to the same terms by the U.S. securities laws and reporting and disclosure requirements, including the reporting and disclosure requirements, applicable to the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

For any questions please contact Pavel A. Nezhutin, Corporate Secretary, by phone at +7 499 973 9940, by facsimile at +7 499 973 1055 or by e-mail at pnezhutin@rt.ru.
